The hero is the one who knows from top to bottom that he is not a hero. The hero moves through his days not only aware of his moral failures, but of his dependence on the grace of God in all its manifestations. He must know, increasingly, how weak and needy he is.

As a rule, men are relational dolts. From an early age girls develop sophisticated communications arrays, whereby they are able to simultaneously translate what anyone says, whether with words, expression or body language, into what they actually mean.

The culture wars are not a simple battle over swear words on television, or which performance artists get federal grants. Those kinds of issues are so many dandelions growing atop a toxic waste dump. The leading issues of our day, the destruction of marriage and the wanton murder of the unborn, on the other hand, are no mere social ills or skirmishes we are losing.

Too often we look at the presentation of our tithes and offerings as some sort of commercial time out—that portion of the service where we tend to the necessary business of financing the work of the church.
